Marcel, You should also know that late last year these boxes (I imagine you have what is known as "Big Sur", up to a 2P system) had a significant upgrade that replaced pretty much everything except the case, power supply, and fans. Oh, and the video card. That means that if you manage to get ahold of B3 or C0 processors they may or may not work correctly with the older motherboard/etc. Someone else may have experience in this area and be able to confirm whether newer processors will work.
